The E10 series (Japanese: E10系) is a Japanese Shinkansen high-speed train type on order by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) for use on Tōhoku Shinkansen services.

Overview

Details of the new trains on order were announced by JR East on 4 March 2025. Scheduled for an introduction into service on the Tōhoku Shinkansen in fiscal 2030, the trains are planned to replace the E2 and E5/H5 series fleets.[1]

The safety technology incorporated in the trains will be derived from the experimental ALFA-X train.[2]

Design

The E10 series' design was overseen by Tangerine,[3] the first overseas design firm contracted by JR East for its rolling stock.[1]

Externally, the E10 series trains will be finished in a colour scheme of "Tsugaru" (津軽) green and "Evening elm" (イブニングエルム) green that evokes the mountains of Tōhoku region.[2]
